Hey guys,

I'm trying to see if the issue I'm having is characteristic of the 6-speed transmission or not. Sometimes, not often, when shifting out of 4th into 5th, it'll slightly "scratch". It is not a grind and can't really be heard the way a grind can be, but it can be slightly felt thru the shifter. This will happen at low rpm as well as high. However, with SRM on, I can't say I've noticed it... more so with SRM off. My car has 17k (2014 Nismo) on it and I've owned it since 12k. So I'm not sure if this happens even with brand new transmissions. If so, then it's fine, but if not, then I'm a little worried. The car has Redline gear oil in the transmission by the way.

I appreciate any input.

Thanks!
